Whelk ID help

Need help with IDing some whelks! (Pics 2-4 are just zoomed in)

All found off of North Carolina coast today

The six on the left seem to be the same type
- the large white colored one is ~9 inches (24cm) from top to bottom -

The next two are "left handed", a little bit smaller and much lighter in weight than the first six

The last four I think are Channel Whelks but wanted to confirm

*bonus helmets at the bottom!*

Thanks in advance!

Why is this titmouse soaking wet? It was lightly raining this day, there is a pond and multiple shallow bird baths on the property. I've just never seen a songbird get this wet before? Could it have fallen into water?
